Great album. The last reviewer gave this three stars, and sounds as if he is familiar with a wider array of Leo's stuff. This is the first album of Leo's that I remember hearing, and still my favorite, although I've barely scratched the surface. If this is a three star album, then his five-star albums must be astronomical.
Leo Kottke stands out to me as one of the most distinctive and talented guitarists of our day, along with the likes of Michael Hedges, Pat Metheny, Phil Keaggy, Andy Summers, The Edge, Johnny Marr, and probably a few others. His style is unlike anyone I know, full of rich acoustic textures and a voice that grows on you after a while.
It's not bad.....
Kottke fans will want to have it. This is by no means Kottke at his best, but BALANCE does have it's moments. As for new comers, I don't strongly recommend this one.
